VDOT MS4 PROGRAM PLAN BACKGROUND

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is authorized to discharge stormwater from its

municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) by coverage under the Virginia Pollutant Discharge

Elimination System (VPDES) Individual Permit for the VDOT Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System

(MS4) (the Permit) within the urbanized areas of Virginia. As part of the original permit authorization

(originally under a general permit), VDOT developed and implemented an MS4 Program Plan (the

Plan) with best management practices (BMPs) to address the six minimum control measures (MCMs)

and the special conditions for applicable total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) outlined in the Permit.

The program plan has been refined and updated throughout the life of the program and permit(s).

In accordance with, VDOT’s coverage under the 2017 Permit, VDOT has updated this MS4 Program

Plan to address new permit requirements (including the addition of MCM7 – Infrastructure

Coordination) as well as enhance BMPs through the adaptive management process. Implementation

of these BMPs is consistent with the provisions of an iterative MS4 Program. Consistent with EPA

interpretation, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has determined that

implementation of the MS4 Program Plan, provided that the plan meets the requirements of the

Permit, will reduce the discharge of pollutants to the Maximum Extent Practicable (MEP).

BMPs that are included in this Plan follow a prescribed alpha-numeric nomenclature that is based on

the respective MCMs, the numbers of BMPs for each MCM, and the responsible Division. For

example, BMP 3(B)(2) refers to the following:

BMP 3 MCM 3: Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination

(B) The second BMP to address the requirements of MCM 3

2 The second VDOT Division to be assigned responsibility under the BMP

Note: BMPs associated with the special conditions for approved TMDLs are assigned a BMP of SC1

(Chesapeake Bay TMDL) or SC2 (Local TMDLs), as appropriate.

The area regulated by the MS4 Permit (herein referred to as the regulated area) covers areas

discharging to an MS4 that is owned and/or operated by VDOT and located within one of the

urbanized areas of Virginia. Urbanized areas as identified by the 2010 Decennial Census are listed

below.

• Blacksburg • Richmond

• Bristol • Roanoke

• Charlottesville • Virginia Beach

• Fredericksburg • Washington, DC

• Harrisonburg • Winchester

• Kingsport • Staunton-Waynesboro

• Lynchburg • Williamsburg


VPDES #: VA0092975


VDOT RESPONSIBILITIES

The Virginia Department of Transportation, under the leadership of the VDOT Commissioner, is

organized into several divisions within the Central Office, each serving under a designated Program

Chief. The nine VDOT Construction Districts are each managed by a District Administrator or District

Engineer who operates under the direct authority of the Deputy Commissioner/Chief Engineer. In

general, VDOT employs a decentralized implementation strategy; overall program policy and

guidance is provided by the appropriate Program Chiefs, while the day to day operation and

implementation of VDOT's road construction and maintenance programs fall under the authority of

the District Administrators/Engineers.

Division Responsibilities

General oversight of the MS4 Program is assigned to the Location & Design (L&D) Division. The

Stormwater Policy Committee Chairman and MS4 Steering Committee Chairman are represented by

L&D staff. However, individual VDOT Central Office Divisions are responsible for the continued

development and/or implementation of specific BMPs identified in this MS4 Program Plan as follows:

Lead Division Associated BMPs

Construction 4(B), 6(C)3

Environmental 2(C), 3(B)2, 3(C), 6(A)2, 6(C)1, SC1(A), SC2(A)

Land Use 2(B)

Location & Design 1(A), 1(C), 2(D), 2(E), 3(A), 3(B)3, 3(D), 4(A), 5(A), 5(C), 6(E), 7(A)

Maintenance 1(B), 2(A), 3(B)1, 5(B), 6(A)1, 6(B), 6(C)2, 6(D)

Workforce Development 6(C)4

District Responsibilities

Each District will generally be responsible for program implementation within the specific Urbanized

Areas. VDOT Central Office staff will provide ongoing support to the Districts and will also develop

the required annual reports with data provided by the Districts.

Stormwater Policy Committee Responsibilities

The Stormwater Policy Committee generally meets on an annual basis to discuss the status of Program

Implementation and address other administration concerns. The Policy Committee is largely

comprised of Division and District Administrators.

MS4 Steering Committee Responsibilities

The MS4 Steering Committee generally meets on a quarterly basis to discuss and develop program-

wide policies and procedures, including implementation, reporting, and assessment tools.

Responsibilities of Sub-Committees

The Stormwater Policy Committee and/or MS4 Steering Committee may establish other standing or

special committees, as they deem advisable, to address specific elements or components of the MS4

Program Plan.

MCM#1:

PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREACH ON

STORMWATER IMPACTS1

1 VDOT’s Permit does not define the term “public”. However, VDOT is required to provide outreach to the public

including its employees and contractors regarding proper disposal of pet waste and trash and identification and

reporting of illicit discharges. VDOT is also required to implement the use of signage at its safety/rest areas to promote

proper trash disposal. Therefore, the public, for the purposes of this permit condition, is considered to be VDOT’s

employees, hired contractors, and travelers using VDOT’s fixed facilities such as rest areas. VDOT does not consider

travelers along the roadway system as part of the “public” for the purpose of developing targeted public outreach

strategies. However, VDOT has developed education material that may incidentally reach these travelers, which will

have a positive benefit outside of VDOT’s right-of-way.

MCM#3:

ILLICIT DISCHARGE DETECTION AND

ELIMINATION2

2 BMP 3(C) – Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Program Note: VDOT has developed an Illicit Discharge Detection

and Elimination (IDDE) Program to address illicit discharges that originate within VDOT’s property and right-of-way as well

those that originate outside of VDOT’s right-of-way, but enter VDOT’s MS4. VDOT actively screens, investigates, and

eliminates illicit discharges that originate within its right-of-way to the MEP. VDOT actively screens and investigates illicit

discharges that enter its MS4 from an external source. However, VDOT does not have direct legal authority to prohibit or

eliminate these sources, as VDOT has limited enforcement authority outside its right of way or property boundaries. As

such, VDOT refers discovered illicit dischargers to the regulatory agencies and other MS4s as described in VDOT’s IDDE

manual.

In addition to any regulatory requirements, VDOT, DEQ, and VDEM have established guidelines regarding coordination of

transportation-related pollution incidents. The guidelines were outlined in the April 5, 2005 version of the DEQ Pollution

Response Manual and provide a framework whereby DEQ, VDEM, and VDOT work with first responders (e.g. local fire

departments, state and local police) to ensure these incidents are handled appropriately and in an efficient manner. The

spill response program may include a combination of response actions by the permittee, and/or another public or private

entity. For purposes of this permit:

• Fluids from vehicular accidents are not handled through the IDDE program;

• For Section I.C.3.g.ii-“Significant spills” is defined as those that require formal regulatory reporting or pose an

imminent threat to human health or the environment.

the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2010 census;

• Location of all outfalls owned or operated by the permittee

discharging to state waters;

• Known points of discharge to downstream, directly adjacent MS4s;

• A unique identifier for each outfall and point of discharge;

• Names of receiving waters to which the outfalls discharge; and

• Stormwater management facilities owned or operated by the

permittee.

PROGRAM EVALUATION, MODIFICATION, AND REPORTING

Through the MS4 Steering Committee meetings, VDOT will annually evaluate the effectiveness of

each strategy or practice. VDOT routinely evaluates specific standards and specifications, schedules,

manuals, checklists, and other documents. Revisions to the MS4 Program Plan are expected

throughout the life of this permit as part of the iterative process to reduce pollutant loading and

protect water quality. As such, revisions made in accordance with this permit as a result of the

iterative process do not require modification of this permit. VDOT will document revisions to the MS4

Program Plan as part of the Annual Report, including an explanation as to why a specific BMP was

replaced or eliminated. A list of plan revisions is included in the attachments.

Documents, policies, and procedures listed in the Program Plan are updated internally at VDOT as

needed (to comport with changes to laws, regulations, implementation approach or other factors not

related to MS4/Stormwater). These items are listed under “Reference materials” within each BMP

section. A detailed table, included in the attachments, lists the reference material name, status, date

modified (if modified). Any changes to a reference material will be tracked in the list of plan revisions.

Location & Design Division will document revisions based on the table below. In the event L&D is not

the owner of a revised reference material, the owning division should provide L&D with the

information needed to complete the revisions to the table.

The reference table is updated periodically for internal distribution and can be provided to DEQ upon

request. A copy of this table will be provided with the annual report.
